Check my CVThis highly entrepreneurial, creative and rewarding role cuts across our exciting children’s literature programmes and publishing ventures. Working as part of an energetic team, they’ll play a lynchpin role in our life-changing work - enriching our content, raising our profile, securing sustainability and driving growth. The right candidate will be a highly skilled multitasker and excellent copywriter, bringing expertise and imagination from similar roles to infuse our public-facing content. Must love literature and believe in its power to change lives!
THE ORGANISATION
We’re a non-profit community interest company, with a team of eight full-time and one part-time staff, governed by a Board of Non-Executive Directors who volunteer their time to offer strategic support and ensure accountability. We take a business-minded approach to achieving our charitable mission; this greatly informs our ethos, making us enterprising and ambitious. Since 2011 we’ve secured almost £5,000,000 from funders and sponsors.
OUR WORK
We deliver imaginative and ambitious programmes and projects which transform lives through literature - especially by working with people in deprived places and challenging circumstances. We achieve our mission through three strands of work:
- Educational programmes in schools, facilitating rich learning opportunities through contemporary literature, interactions with diverse authors, and training for educators
- Talent development, investing in and advocating for aspiring, emerging and established writers and illustrators, especially from under-represented backgrounds
- Community projects, providing literature creation opportunities for and with children and young people experiencing marginalisation, isolation or who are at risk
This is an exciting time to join us, as we mark our 10th anniversary, celebrate the impact we’ve had on 125,000 people, and set out our vision for the next ten years. Covid-19 has deeply challenged the way work, but the gap in children’s education and the untold impact on young people’s wellbeing has made that work more vital than ever. Disruption has also catalysed rich innovation and we’ve successfully transformed our offers for schools, communities and artists into dynamic online experiences, sustaining engagement through successive lockdowns. We’ve also launched new commercial and community publishing ventures. These new areas of expertise will only increase revenue, enhance our offers and widen participation in the years to come.
The four main strands of work the candidate will have a role in:
- A national children's literature festival which connects thousands of school children nationwide with quality children’s books and authors
- A talent development programme increasing minority representation in children’s publishing, with investment from 12 publisher and 9 university affiliates
- Our first commercial publishing venture, a collection of 10 new books giving a platform to untold stories and diverse new voices, with plans to launch a new collection annually from 2022
- The Rainbow Library: A UK and Ireland-wide literature creation and publishing programme involving LGBTQ+ young people collaborating with LGBTQ+ writers and illustrators
In June 2021, Covid-permitting, we’ll be celebrating our 10th Birthday at an event in central London, where we’ll launch 10 Stories, publish our 10 Year Report, and showcase the diverse people we’ve worked with over the last 10 years in a photographic exhibition. The Marketing and Comms Manager will work closely with the whole Pop Up team to produce that event.
The role requires entrepreneurship, imagination and responsiveness, to:
- Market our products and services;
- Promote our work and its impact;
- Generally raise the profile of our organisation.
Main responsibilities include:
- Managing and enhancing our overarching marketing and comms strategy, in line with organisational goals as well as commitments to funders and stakeholders, including periodic review of and reporting on KPIs, targets and objectives
- Developing and leading execution of promotional and sales campaigns in support of products, services, programmes and projects - including the creation and distribution of key (print and digital) assets
- Writing and overseeing copy creation for assets as well as comms messaging - including press releases - for campaigns targeted to particular audiences
- Managing and developing our websites supported by teams. This includes working with design agencies, commissioning content from others, and optimising user journeys
- Steering digital/social media strategy to drive growth, engagement and lead generation across platforms and channels, including line-managing a Social Media Coordinator (2dpw)
- Enhancing marketing systems and processes through developing CRM pipelines and dashboards, and automating activities wherever possible
- Creating and managing briefs and contracts with agencies and freelancers from time to time, supervising delivery to milestones and managing risk
- Occasional event management responsibilities, including our 10th Birthday celebrations in 2021
Because we have many relationships and collaborations with (aspiring and professional) children’s writers and illustrators, as well as editorial teams and publishers generally, we regularly produce literary content including original writing and illustration, which the Marketing & Comms Manager will make use of to enrich our assets and tell the stories we want to tell.
IS THIS YOU?
The successful candidate will have a minimum of two years in a similar role, and ideally at least five years working in the publishing, cultural or charitable sectors. However, we are open to candidates from other sectors. You’ll need to demonstrate experience in managing high quality and effective marketing and strategic campaigns across digital and print channels. As a children’s literature agency with strong educational impact, the content of our communications and assets needs to be of the highest quality, balancing sophistication with imagination and accessibility - a strong candidate will be a skilled communicator with proven copywriting skills. You’ll need to be an excellent multitasker, capable of balancing a portfolio of multiple projects at all points in the year. The ability to work both independently and collaboratively under pressure, and to adapt flexibly and responsively to changing circumstances, is essential.
Experience of the following would be ideal:
- website content management systems (ideally wordpress)
- understanding of SEO strategies, social media, direct marketing
- PR campaigns and media relationships
- using CRM systems to monitor and optimise lead generation
The following are general requirements:
• Must be eligible to work in the UK
• Must be able to work in London as well as remotely
• Willingness to work flexibly in accordance with the demands of the work, which will include occasional evenings and weekends
Candidates with a BAME background are encouraged to apply as they are currently under-represented at this level.

Being a young person in 2021 can be hard. The challenges they face are complex and fast moving and the services that exist to support them are being drastically cut. STI rates are rising and complex safeguarding concerns are multiplying, stretching an underfunded health system to its limit. The impact of lockdown is being keenly being felt and the long-term consequences are impossible to predict.
And while there has been some reduction in the stigma, there is still a long way to go before the general public are sympathetic to young people’s rights to good sexual health provision and relationship support.
Brook is an ambitious and dynamic charity that is passionate about improving the lives of young people. Last year we supported 1.4 million under 25s to manage their sexual health and wellbeing and we know our work is needed more than ever.
About the role
Digital transformation is a core strategic objective for Brook and spans all aspects of the charity’s work. We have made enormous progress during lockdown both in terms of development and improvement and in terms of securing funding for further programmes of work.
For this reason, the Head of Digital role will be vital to pushing the digital agenda forward in 2021/22.
We’re looking for an experienced digital professional who shares our passion for education and/or health, believes in young people, and who is excited by the prospect of helping us achieve our goals.
Key areas for focus will be:
The Digital Front Door
Brook provides sexual health services across England through a mix of clinics and outreach work, commissioned by local authorities. With the support of grant funding, we are commencing a 17 month project in April 2021, to develop a patient portal that we call the Digital Front Door. This patient portal will have a range of features designed to triage service users, support them to request testing kits, book appointments, have a video consultation, see their health record and get information and advice.
Our goal is to transform how users interact with our services, making it easier, faster and more convenient for those able to self-care and allowing us to protect valuable face-to-face time for the most vulnerable. And while our ambitions pre date lockdown, the last year has demonstrated better than ever, how vital this transformation is.
With the support of the Digital Team, the Head of Digital will lead this exciting, ambitious programme of work, managing the digital agency building the portal, working with Brook’s Data Team, consulting with young people to ensure the Digital Front Door meets their needs and expectations and supporting with funder communication. Also crucial will be supporting our colleagues to work in new ways and adopt the tools we introduce.
Education, training and wellbeing
Huge strides have been made during lockdown with the full range of Brook’s offer being moved to remote delivery. This encompasses live training and education as well as one-to-one counselling and support.
It includes an expansion of our already well-established digital self-directed learning platform, Brook Learn which exists to support educators in the delivery of excellent relationship and sex education as well as with safeguarding. The majority of Brook Learn courses are free of charge but we have a growing paid-for offer and ambitions to develop this further in the coming year.
Another key part of Brook’s strategy is to launch a young-person facing digital RSE offer. Part of your role will be to support with this at a strategic level – identifying opportunities for partnership and collaboration.
Website and digital projects
Our website is on course to see 3.1 million page views and 1.24 million visitors (a 42% in-year increase) in by the end of this financial year. The Digital Team have been working hard on a redesign, rebuild and migration, overseen by the Digital Manager. Part of your role will be to offer strategic support and insight as the final stages are addressed in 2021/22 – and as the Digital Front Door is introduced to ensure a seamless user journey between the two. Maximizing opportunities for promoting and driving traffic to our paid-for offers is another area for strategic focus.
The Digital Team is always responsible for an ongoing portfolio of ad-hoc digital projects, including those supported by and delivered in collaboration with corporate sponsors. The Head of Digital will be responsible for developing proposals for a range of funders, overseeing delivery and advising on the resource required for future projects.
To be successful in this role, you’ll have:
- Strong, demonstrable leadership skills
- Significant experience of effectively managing digital products and services – possibly within an agency setting
- Experience of the health and/or youth sector is desirable
- Excellent project management skills and the confidence to support and inspire colleagues to embrace, promote and use digital in their work
- A clear and engaging communication style, with the ability to influence and build relationships across the organisation
You'll need to hit the ground running and be happy and comfortable wearing lots of different hats and moving between various live projects. You'll be happy to get your hands dirty but will be passionate about shaping our digital future.
In return, Brook can offer you a supportive, structured working environment with clear objectives to meet but with the freedom to operate independently and think creatively. We pride ourselves on being a hardworking but fun team.
The Head of Digital will be supported by a Digital Manager who manages a Digital Officer and a Digital Education Lead (new role from April 2021).
To apply
Please send us your CV and a cover letter explaining why you would like to apply for this role and what you think you would bring to it. You can do this through Charity Jobs or via the Brook website. The closing date is 24th March, interviews will take place online on 29th March and the start date would be the first week in May 2021. Please indicate if you are unavailable for an interview on 29th March.
This is a full time, London based role. And while we are currently working remotely, as and when circumstances allow, you will be expected to be in the London office a minimum of 2 days a week. Travel to and from work will not be covered.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

More about Material Focus
Having launched in April 2020, with a brand new website, we are now at a stage where we need a digital manager to come and manage and develop this further. Our website digital tools are effectively our ‘product’ and are critical to the success of our campaign. They make it easier for people to know what, how and where to reuse and recycle their old electricals. The digital project manager will lead the development and management of the website, functionality, SEO, SEM, as part of a small, newly formed, and growing committed team.
You will be given the chance to come in and have an immediate impact on a well-funded non-profit organisation, with an important mission.
And you’ll be able to establish a good work life balance with somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home.
Background
Managing electrical waste is one of the biggest challenges of our time - it is the fastest growing waste stream in the world - and in the UK. As technology evolves at such a fast pace, older electrical and electronic items are often made redundant. Most of us don’t know what to do with our old electricals and end up either binning or hoarding them. The reality is that everything with a plug, a cable or a battery can be recycled and turned into anything from children’s playgrounds to life saving equipment. Reusing and recycling unwanted electricals helps save lives, save the environment and stops those precious resources from being lost forever.
The Organisation
We are a busy start-up, having been set up to get the nation reusing and recycling their unwanted electricals - and save precious resources from being lost forever.
We are a core team of 6, working with a network of trusted freelancers and agencies to get the job done.
The campaign
We have launched the Recycle Your Electricals campaign to motivate and make it easy for people to reuse and repair their unwanted electricals. This is a low interest issue that doesn’t even occur to most people - we throw away small electricals without even thinking about it, or perhaps we consider it but we’re too busy, and what would we do with it anyway? We need to stop people in their tracks, and give them a reason to think about it, talk about it, and do the right thing. Our website has been designed as an inspiring knowledge hub with all the tools, links and resources people need to donate, repair and recycle their unwanted electricals.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
